I have imported IE9 bookmarks but do not know where to access them in firefox
I have installed Firefox 7 and have all the toolbars on screen but I cannot access the bookmarks that I imported from Internet Explorer 9. When I click Bookmarks on the top left of the page (on te menu that says File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help) it doesn't show me any of the bookmarks I have imported. Please can you help. Where do I get the bookmarks? Thank you Dr Anthony Wood

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
- Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
- Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

Thank you so much for your reply. I had been looking were you mentioned and there was no line that showed saying "From Internet Explorer".
I thought maybe the download was corrupted so I deleted and started again and this time it has appeared correctly.
I thank you so much for your time, cor-el.
I am new to Firefox, having used IE before. Firefox seems quicker.
Again, thank you for your time and help.
